Joe Sestack

I told him he didn't belong in the race.  The guy blasted Specter for being an "opportunist" yet Joe was supposedly an "Independent" until he exploited an opportunity to run as a D and scoot into a Congressional seat held by Republicans for a generation.  Like Obama, he no sooner had the job in Congress than he launched his pursuit of the Senate seat.  Specter, on the other hand, was originally a Democrat, won a Republican write-in for DA in Philly so he switched parties at their request and won election.  In the Senate for - likewise - a generation, Arlen always represented the People of Pennsylvania.  He cast conservative votes on matters of Defense and Law & Order.  He cast liberal votes on social issues.  He carefully considered and often decided his vote with great courage, crossing the aisle to make things work when partisans made a joke of the "People's Business."  He was, in truth, a sane, stable moderate, mature and wise, knowing and competent.

So, trailing in the polls, the retired Admiral accepts MoveOn.org money and for all his puffery about serving the Families of Pennsylvania, he copped the brass ring and denigrated a candidate who had been whole-heartedly endorsed by 75% of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee, the entire Congressional delegation of the Commonwealth and sitting Dems from the Governor to mayors of major cities and County Commissioners.

My question is this: Now that Joe has demonstrated the loose lips sink ships advice he should have internalized, he goes on to flip the bird to the entire Democratic establishment and mobilize Cult of the Guys who bought the insanity of putting the old guy out to pasture because we didn't know what he was...What baloney!  It's Sestack who can't think his way through an issue.  It's Sestack who isn't a Democrat.  He only became a Democrat to pursue a seat in Congress, then tossed it for the next bigger job.  He ratted out the White House in a whiner's appeal for attention then played coy with the press,  standing on his code of honor when his rash accusation about a job offer to get him out of the race gained legs.  What an asshole.  This guy, in no way belongs in the Senate race.  Since he won the Democratic Primary, Toomey doesn't look nearly as scarey.  We are feeling like Republicans who shivered to think that Hillary Clinton could be President, would take her in a heartbeat knowing, now, what they got as the result of their irrational hate.

And those brats who come out and push yet another creep on the voters:  They go back to sponging off their parents while they drink beer and watch Penn State football.  It's the Workforce, not the voters, who are getting fed up with the incompetence of the Obama Administration.  We should ammend the Constitution to make a Work Force member's vote count for more than the mindless kids'.   Make the R & BL Committee ruling - give them 1/2 votes.

Politicians who manipulate those young people should be relentlessly exposed for what they are:  opportunists in league with George Soros to thwart the will of the grown up people.  I was shocked by the number of males I believed were rational, who went for Sestack just because they bought the creep's lies about the opportunist, Specter.  Sestack can't even prove he has a voting record as a citizen claiming that he voted Absentee Ballots while in the Navy.  Come on, Joe.  Everybody knows Naval officers vote Republican.

If I were to wager on November, I'm pegging Toomey, who is coming round the track showing what he learned the first time.  Joe, on the other hand, burnishes his sucker face for the Memorial Day Weekend Cameras.  The coward waits til 6:00 p.m. to 'dump' the WH Memo white-washing his job offer accusation with an utterly bogus, carefully synchronized story that didn't add up.  He is the ongoing center of the question:  "What took the White House so long to address it?"  And if it was just an innocent mention - why did he have to bring Bubba into it?  I listened to this fool appealing to Hillary supporters by playing up his ties to her campaign.  But I just didn't think he had the substance to represent me.  Why go with an unknown when I knew what I had in Specter?

At the State Committee meeting, I'll have to pull myself together, congratulate this pig on his "victory" with zero honor, and wish him well.  But in my heart, I sincerely hate the guy.  I hate him for the disgraceful campaign he waged against Specter in the last weeks, for the pit-bull stubbornness and utter demonstration of contempt for the establishment of the Democratic Party and his stupidity to think we are all so desparate to get a "D" elected that we will unite behind him, support him and forget what a bastard he chose to be in the name of his stricken daughter. 

When the "progressives" come onto him like they own him and bully him into voting their way, he'll deserve it.  When the crazy cult of the "Young Guys" push him out with ageist hostility as they churned racist, sexist animosity for the past two years, he's going to know he's hated even by his supporters.

We were all frank with him.  We didn't want him to run.  Not to clear the field for Specter, but because he just wasn't impressive, didn't show the level of political savvy we look for in a Senator.  Pennsylvania already has one rookie Senator in Bobby Casey.  Why would we ditch a distinguished, Senior Senator who has ALWAYS been a responsible public servant for a pig in a poke?  Hello, Joe: we're the State Committee.  It's our job to evaluate candidates who expect us to support them. 

We chose Specter. 
You said "Fuck all of you!"

Now, doesn't that make all of us want to go out and raise money for you, get behind you and elect you to the Senate?  You show as much sense as bHO.
